Quick Q and A:
Q: When does my child receive a Challenge Progress Report?
A: Students will receive a progress report from me each semester (2nd and 4th nine weeks). Therefore students will not receive one first nine weeks but the next nine weeks.
Q: Does my child have to qualify again for Challenge?
A: No. Once your child qualifies for Challenge they will always be in Challenge unless you remove them.

A: Yes. It is called Challenge Language Arts. Your child will be automatically enrolled into this class in 6th grade.

A short video of Challenge in Ms. Brown's classroom.
Once again Stone Academy had a strong showing at the ASCE Bridge Event. We entered 12 bridges this year and 8 of the 12 bridges held the max weight (100 pounds of force).
A special thanks to everyone for coming to the bridge event and supporting Stone Academy fourth grade Challenge students along with all the parents.
